For clarity:
starttimestamp: Used to detect whether the page was deleted since you started editing. Should be the time at which you clicked the edit button basetimestamp: Used to detect edit conflicts. Should be *exactly equal* to the timestamp of the most recent revision of the page at the time you started editing Roan Kattouw (Catrope) _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
